This review focuses on the recognition of volcanic ash occurrences in marine sediment
cores and on using their appearance and properties to deduce their origin. Widespread …

Building chronological frameworks for proxy sequences spanning 130–60 ka b2k is plagued
by difficulties and uncertainties. Recent developments in the North Atlantic region, however …

From its Icelandic origins in the study of visible tephra horizons, tephrochronology took a
remarkable step in the late 1980 s with the discovery of a ca. 4300‐year‐old microscopic …

Tephrochronology is central to the INTIMATE 1 goals for testing the degree of climatic
synchroneity during abrupt climatic events that punctuated the last glacial period. Since their …

Correlation of tephra deposits frequently relies on the analysis of glass shards separated
from their host. Small shards from distal deposits (marine-, ice-or lake-cores, peat bogs) are …

One visible volcanic ash layer and 21 non‐visible, cryptotephra horizons have been
identified in the M72/5‐25‐GC1 core from the south‐east Black Sea that spans the last∼ 60 …

Tephrochronology is increasingly being utilised as a key tool for improving chronological
models and correlating disparate palaeoclimatic sequences. For many sedimentary …

Localized tephra deposition in marine sequences is the product of many complex primary
and secondary depositional processes. These can significantly influence the potential …

We explore developments in tephra science that consider more than chronology, using case
studies of morphological transformations of tephra deposits. Volcanic processes and …

Tephrochronology is the use of primary, characterized tephras or cryptotephras as
chronostratigraphic marker beds to connect and synchronize geological …
